Peace Hyde has delivered a rousing speech to over 1000 millennial women at the 2019 Flourish Africa Conference in Lagos, Nigeria.

The founder of education non-profit Aim Higher and the head of digital media and partnerships for Forbes Africa graced the prestigious event, created by one of the wealthiest women on the African continent, Folorunso Alakija. It comes after Hyde suffered a grade three ligament tear to her right ankle over a month ago.

environments and to use their skills to achieve their fullest potential through
faith, hard work and perseverance.
